    Hard perms and combs question

    What I wrote was wrong because my initial assumption was incorrect. We must regard the same letters as identical. You only need to worry about outcomes when doing probability. Although don't worry about this for high school.

    ACST212 - Combinatorial Probability

    Sorry would you be able to elaborate, like specifically how the cases from 100p5 collapse to 5!?

    ACST212 - Combinatorial Probability

    Dw I actually got it this time. Here's the next question I've done a,b and some of c but I'm struggling to show the cases are equally likely. any hints?

    ACST212 - Combinatorial Probability

    Edit: I was wrong xD Hey here's the rest of the q and I managed to do b) but my expression with c inst quite working. I get \frac{1}{3^{n-1}}[^{n+2}C_{3}+^{n+5}C_{6}+...+^{2n-1}C_{n+1}][1-^{n}C_{1}+^{n}C_{2}-...+^{n}C_{n}] Although I know I should be able to show the answer is...

    ACST212 - Combinatorial Probability

    Hey need some help with questions. Here's the 1st one. Edit I'd like a hint not the answer. Thanks heaps

    Alerts for Offers?

    You can receive informal offers (i.e. not directly via UAC) by email or text. I got a unsw and wsu ones by email. Note it often goes to your spam, so make sure you check!

    When are you deciding on which University?

    I really wanted to do space engineering/adv math at sydney but I didnt do as well in my finals as I hoped. However I got an early offer into combined actuarial studies at unsw which I would never accept due to personal reasons, but it definately made me consider actuarial studies. I ended up...

    Math133

    Yeah thanks heaps. I've done a lot of binomial stuff this semester in another unit, it just wasnt making sense. But just to clarify you can either do the general computation for tayler/macluaran series or you can fiddle with a function until it reduces a well-known result? Thanks for your help :)

    Math133

    So you can just the sum be J or whatever. J=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{n}}{n}\\ {J}^{\prime}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} x^{n-1}\\ J^{\prime}\\ \text{This is effectively the normal geom series now which you show by subbing another variable. So}\\ J^{\prime}=\frac{1}{1-x}\\ \int J^{\prime} = \int...

    Why is it -log(1-z)?

    Math133

    Hey would anyone be able to help me with these 2 q's: For this one I don't know how to do the series with 1/n For this one I just dont understand the binomial form in general. Oops find the tayler series for it Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hard perms and combs question

    Start of by stating, we regard the letters as distinguishable. If it were probability then you would say, to produce equally likely outcomes. But this is beyond the level at school. So we have 1W,8O,3L,1M, such that all the O's,L's are different. You can introduce subscript etc. i) If no O's...

    Hard perms and combs question

    They dont explain that well in highschool. Because if you were asked to find the probability of one of the examples above you would need to regard the letters as distinguishable to produce equally likely outcomes, which you have inadvertently done. Sometimes it is valid to view the given letters...

    MQ Chatter Thread

    I wanted to do actuarial without moving out of home. So unsw was off the tables. Mq is a 2 hour drive so it works

    Nah i go to mq because it's convenient

    MQ Chatter Thread

    Guys Im so cut. I was hoping to change my degree because I'm finding finance boring. I was hoping to change to eco, but I d have to do that as a concurrent degree and I wouldnt be able to do all my exemptions for actuarial so it defeats the point. Then I can't do any of the other doubles because...

    Hard perms and combs question

    well since it says chosen we are only interested in the total combinations not the arrangements of the words

    Hard perms and combs question

    You've missed some cases and arrangements. These letter ones are generally easier to do with perms I find
